The story of Kevin Durant and his legacy

Kevin Wayne Durant, also known as Kevin Durant or KD, is a two times NBA champion and Power Forward for Brooklyn Nets. Although he became a legend after winning two consecutive NBA titles in 2017 and 18, fans still think that he is depriving his own legacy.

In a recent banter between him and basketball fans on Twitter about his basketball legacy, the NBA star almost got cornered by them when popular streamer JiDion came to his support. This seemed like a ray of hope for KD fans, but then JiDion did something unspeakable. He said that he “Own” Durant now.

After this, the debate got even more heated as fans started complaining about how he could say something like this to Durant when he himself is banned from Twitch. Notably, JiDion was banned from Twitch after he asked his fans to pester Pokimane during his first partnered stream.

Although, the fact that all this was just a very big statement by both the elites shows that they are the people of their own choice and no one owns anybody.

Some more fan reactions

The post, although a bit serious, took a hilarious turn when fans started to point out that JiDion uses a bright theme instead of a dark one. After this, fans started trolling the YouTuber, saying that he owns nothing if he has a white theme for Twitter.

The matter of fact, though, is that Kevin Durant hasn’t replied to this post as of now. He may have seen it and ignored it or might be seeing the post soon and commenting on something. Whatever the case, fans are still upset about the friendly fire that JiDion had on KD.
